Apple Media Event: A quick look at the new iPod Nano
Hello people of AppYourMac, it’s been a while. How are you? I’m good, thanks for asking. So, the new iPod Nano. The device is now Apple’s 6th generation Nano and very different from it’s predecessors; fearing a built in touch screen for the first time. The touch screen enables the device to be even smaller because it doesn’t need a click wheel which means there’s even room for a clip, much like the iPod Shuffle. The touch screen also makes the Nano somewhat cooler in my humble opinion.

The new Apple TV: A hobby or a passion?
Apple’s ‘One More Thing…’ announcement at it’s Music Event this month was the introduction of a new Apple TV. Since it’s release in 2007, it never really has revolutionized watching and downloading content on your television. Now with the new ‘streaming-only’ Apple TV – will Apple be able to turn this product from a hobby into a passion?

So we all know about Spotify, at least us living in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, France and Spain, and we know that Spotify released a mobile version of it’s program for the iPhone to the app store with full access to the Spotify catalog. However, you do need a premium account to use it. So is it worth the money? Well, I thought I would give it a spin and tell Appyourmac readers what I think.

I am always on the look for a simple, yet easy to use application that allows me to control my iTunes listening, without having to even touch iTunes. To me, it’s always a little bit of a nuisance to have to switch windows back and forth to change the album, artist or playlist that I’m listening to. Enter the world of CoverSutra, this application allows you to change the song, artist, album or playlist you’re listening to through designated shortcuts, through the application window, or it’s built in Menu Bar option.

Scullcandy: Full Metal Jacket Earphones
Earphones… Or ear-buds. I can never really tell the two apart, or if they are the same thing. I am of course talking about the little things you shove in your ears and think, ‘Surely this must be bad for my ears’. Specially when you have to max out the volume to even have a chance of hearing your music over background noises when you’re out and about. Scullcandy, however, are one of a few companies that know what they are doing when it comes down to music, they have comfortable fit high quality products that you don’t need to max out. If you are still sticking to those flat, tinny sounding things that came with your iPod then You have no idea what you are missing out on!

Radioshift: A New Medium for Listening to Radio
Technology aficionados know that the radio is still a popular means of mass communications. Today, people listen to the radio using transmitters or their computer thanks to the Internet. I had mentioned an application a while back called AOL Radio which allows people to listen to select radio stations online for free. Yet, Radioshift, in my opinion, surpasses it. Radioshift is, without question, one of the most useful and enjoyable applications used to listen to radio via the Internet.
